Hi! We're officially a day away from the big Nintendo Switch 2 reveal Nintendo Direct! Before we finally see what this thing is and what it's all about, there's one more thought we wanted to share with all of you. Something we've been thinking a lot about is how entering the Switch 2 generation is going start a series of major changes for Nintendo. As we know, change is not inherently good or bad, but there is a lot that will be different at the company starting soon. There are a lot of factors that play into why this is and we break it all down in this video. What do you think and how do you feel about the end of the Switch 1 era and the beginning of the Switch 2 era? Tell us in the comments!

Hello! Welcome to episode 163 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast. We are getting so close to the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct and things are heating up. Today we want to talk about 10 questions Nintendo MUST answer for us to feel satisfied after this Switch 2 Direct. They haven't confirmed very much about the system so they need to clearly communicate a lot of things to us in this Direct. We will have a separate predictions video that you can look forward to next week as well and of course our big reactions on April 2. Also in this episode, we're playing Xenoblade Chronicles X! Does this game hold up 10 years later? There's also some news we want to talk about including the official timeline for Sonic. Does Sonic need a timeline? We wrap it up with questions from our lovely Patreon subscribers. All this and so much more is coming right up!

Hi, over the last few days we've seen some frustration and outrage over the graphics of Pokemon Legends Z-A since it was shown off in the Pokemon presents as part of Pokemon Day. Let's dig into here and talk about why this keeps happening with Pokemon games and whether it even matters. This isn't this week's big Kit & Krysta Podcast which is still coming Thursday, but wanted to share our thoughts on this topic with you here and now.

Hello and welcome to episode 159 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! Today we're telling the origin story of the very first Pokemon Day back in 2016. It's incredible that over the last nine years this has grown so much into what we now expect and know as Pokemon Day and of course all the news in Pokemon Presents. It was fun to look back to see how this important day for Pokemon actually came to be and how connected to Nintendo it was in its first few years. Also in this episode, we're playing SO many games that we're excited to tell you about including Monster Hunter Wilds and Avowed. Throughout the episode, we're also sharing some incredible memories from our community about their first encounters with Pokemon. So get comfy and let's get into it!

Hello and welcome to episode 156 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! Today, we're sharing a really special story about our time with Shinya Takahashi and Yoshiaki Koizumi - the two masterminds behind Nintendo Switch and the developers who are likely now working on Nintendo Switch 2! We had the great opportunity to spend two weeks with both of them on a cross country tour when Nintendo Switch launched in 2017 and it was amazing to get to know them and truly absorb from the geniuses themselves the philosophy and inspiration behind Nintendo Switch. We haven't seen or heard from the developers in awhile but we think they'll make an appearance for Switch 2 and we can't wait to see them again. Also in this episode, we play a fun game of "guess the developer" and we have a massive "games we're playing" segment. We're playing seven games right now! We also talk about the latest Nintendo sales information and what is going on with the trading feature in Pokemon TCG Pocket in our news section. We wrap it all up with some great questions from our Patreon subscribers. All this and more is coming right up!

She's one of our good friends and we can't wait to dish about what she thought of the Switch 2 reveal. Also in this episode, we talk about the games we're playing and Stephenie blows our minds with a new game that was so not on our radar but now definitely is.

Hello and welcome to episode 154 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! Today we're going to talk about the questions Nintendo really doesn't want you to ask about Switch 2 right now. This is something that happens with every new product and a term that the one and only Reggie Fils-Aime used to use is "soft underbelly" which means these are the areas where you might be vulnerable. So what are these questions and how might Nintendo answer them? Also in this episode, we play a rousing game of Would You Rather - Switch 2 edition and we are playing the new Donkey Kong Country Returns HD and share how we're liking the game. We wrap it all up with the news and some great questions from our Patreon community. Tons of stuff coming right up!

Hello and welcome to episode 150 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast - it's also our last podcast for 2024 wow! Can you believe that 2025 marks the half decade? Time is going so fast. We thought it would be fun to look at the games that have come out in the last five years and get to the top 10 games of the half decade. We're doing it a really fun way where we each get to remove games off of a huge list and we also have a save each in case the other person removes a game that is unacceptable. Also in this episode, we check back on our 2024 predictions. Spoiler, we did not do very well since we were really expecting Switch 2 to be announced and come out this year! We go through some new games we're playing and react to the latest news and wrap it all up with questions from our Patreon subscribers!

Hello and welcome to episode 147 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! Today we're going to be reflecting on Nintendo's 2024 and giving it a letter grade based on everything that's happened this year. This goes beyond games that were released and we're going to judge them by the whole picture of entertainment things, non-game surprises and if we think they have good momentum leading into 2025. Also in this episode, we react to even more Switch 2 rumors and what it means for Nintendo closing the eShop in China. We're playing even more games as we try to make sure we're ready for the game of the year discussions so we've been spending some time with Stellar Blade, Black Myth Wukong and Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake.

Also in this episode, we talk about the latest update on the Nintendo vs. Palworld lawsuit. We also share our progress on Pokemon TCG Pocket and one of us goes on a little rant about it.

Hello and welcome to episode 139 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! This week we're talking about a topic that has been on our minds for awhile and especially since we came back from Japan. We got to thinking that the most iconic Nintendo developers are rapidly approaching retirement age and will soon be leaving the company. If we think the Switch 2 lifecycle will be similar to the Switch, it means it will last about 7 - 8 years where many of these developers will be well over the age of 65. What does this mean for Nintendo and are they prepared for this eventuality? We dig into all of this on today's episode. Also in this episode, we have been playing so many games. We've beat The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom and we started Metaphor ReFantazio after all the hype. We have some news and answer some great questions from our Patreon community. All this and more is coming right up!

Hello and welcome to episode 135 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! With The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom on the horizon, we wanted to talk about the big elephant in the room for Zelda games - the story. We're debating if story is actually important and needed in Zelda games. With the timeline a work in progress (putting it nicely!) and Nintendo refusing to officially acknowledge or put any importance on the story, should fans care? Let's discuss. Also in this episode, we talk about our impressions playing Astro Bot which has taken the world by storm! We discuss how Nintendo might be feeling with PlayStation making a game that feels like a Nintendo game. Does Nintendo care? Are they panicking about Sony copying them? We also react to the latest round of Switch 2 rumors. Do we think there's any truth to the system potentially getting revealed soon or are we getting a bit tired of all this? All this and more is coming right up.

Hello and welcome to episode 133 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! This week we have a whole heap of Nintendo news that we're going to be digging into. We were a bit surprised that there was a double whammy Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase AND an Indie World Showcase that dropped this week. This is a bit unlike Nintendo's usual schedule of having these in mid-late September so what could this mean? Also, there was a Nintendo Direct last week showing us this Nintendo Museum and while we're excited to finally see it, we do have some thoughts and feelings about if this museum lived up to our expectations. We've also been jamming through a ton of games and getting ready for our next spoilercast on Emio: The Smiling Man Famicom Detective Club. We got a big episode coming up!

Hi and welcome to episode 132 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! We've got a lot of goodness jammed into this episode. Let's start with talking about a Nintendo legend who just retired. Don James has worked at Nintendo for over 40 years and had a huge impact on the company but many might not know too much about him so let us tell you! We also react to the latest round of Switch 2 news with developers saying they don't expect the system to launch any earlier than April 2025. In our Never a Minute segment, we test our spelling skills with an exciting Pokemon spelling bee. Spoiler, we did not do well. We're playing a ton of new games with a few hidden gems that we can't wait to tell you about and we wrap it all up with questions from our wonderful Patreon subscribers.

Hello and welcome to episode 129 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! Today we're telling you about something truly gross and bizarre that Nintendo made its employees do. We swear that we are not making any of this up but you might think we are because it was truly unhinged. Also in this episode, we talk about the debacle that is the Splatoon 3 World Championships and Ubisoft's Davide Soliani leaving the company after over a decade of working on the Mario & Rabbids series. We're playing a TON of new indie games and of course we wrap it all up with questions from our awesome Patreon family. All this and much more is coming right up!

Hello and welcome to episode 128 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast. This week, we're starting our long goodbye to Nintendo Switch by digging into 20 reasons why it was SO incredibly successful. A lot of things had to go just right for Switch to be a hit and the pressure was definitely on at Nintendo to make sure it went well. Nintendo Switch will always hold a very special place in our hearts because it was the last system we launched at Nintendo so it feels great to reflect back on what happened over these past 7 years. Also in this episode, we react to the reveal of Emio and talk about what the new Joy-Con charging accessory really means. We wrap it all up with questions from our amazing Patreon family.

We have such a special place in our hearts for the team at Retro and we're always rooting for them so it was so great to be able to see where they work and spend the day with them. Also, let's not forget how AWESOME BBQ in Austin is! Yum!! In our Never A Minute segment, we rank every year of Nintendo Switch and talk which year had the best first party games. Do you agree? Also in this episode, we talk about why we think Nintendo is being super cagey and not sharing who is actually developing their games. We both started the Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree DLC and um yeah... it's pretty hard! We wrap it all up with questions from our amazing Patreon community. Big podcast coming right up!

Hello and welcome to episode 120 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast. This week we'll be sharing our thoughts after playing a whole bunch of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door on Nintendo Switch. We were so hyped for this game but does it live up to our super high expectations? We dig into all the nitty gritty details - what we love, what we don't and everything in between. Also in this episode, we share our thoughts about Nintendo opening a new store in our hometown of San Francisco. Also, Nintendo just acquired Shiver and we discuss why we think this is critical for them leading up to the launch of Switch 2. We wrap it all up with some great questions from our Patreon community. All this is coming right up!

Hi and welcome to episode 118 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! TODAY, we'll be talking about how Nintendo has basically won the console wars. Or have they? So much has happened over the last few weeks around the games industry with really bad layoffs and studio closures from Microsoft and Sony in a constant state of needing to squeeze more profit for the incredibly expensive games they're making. With Nintendo announcing officially that Switch 2 is on the way and still showing super strong sales for original Switch, they've won right? Let's discuss. Also in this episode, we react to even more Switch 2 leaks, share some early predictions for the June Nintendo Direct, and we're playing a ton of cool indie games. We wrap it all up with questions from our adorable Patreon subscribers. A packed episode is coming right up! Get comfy.

We made a whole separate video about the Switch 2 news so in this podcast, we're talking about some other things like Nintendo's ESRB leak around the Nintendo World Championship game and all that drama around Helldivers 2.

Hello and welcome to episode 116 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! Today, we'll be sharing with you a fond memory we both have of Satoru Iwata. We were so lucky to have worked under Mr. Iwata when we were at Nintendo and it might surprise you how often we got to see Mr. Iwata. He was consistently in our office and we spent a lot of time one-on-one with him. One of the many wonderful things about Mr. Iwata was he would not only talk to us about the Nintendo business but he would often share with us his own life philosophies. We learned so much from him and we still hold his lessons near and dear to our hearts to this day. Also in this episode, we react to the latest round of Switch 2 rumors and we share our impressions of the latest round of indie games that have come out on Nintendo Switch. We wrap it all up with some great questions from our Patreon subscribers. All this and much more is coming right up!

Hi and welcome to episode 115 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! Today, we're diving into the topic of emulation and how Nintendo is handling the new Delta emulation app on the Apple App Store. Delta coming to Apple has changed the conversation around emulation a bit since it's made it feel more mainstream and accessible - something Nintendo is not going to be happy about, but what can they actually do about it? Let's dig into this topic! Also in this episode, we have a special guest joining us, Stealth40K who is a prominent member of the Nintendo fan community. We chat with Stealth about the state of Nintendo's relationship with fans and what they can do better as Nintendo prepares for the launch of Switch 2. We've played A TON of indie games this week after the Indie Game Showcase and we tell you all about the ones we loved in the games we're playing segment.

This game is coming out in about a month on Nintendo Switch and we can't wait to play it. Today we're going to be talking about everything you need to know before you play this game. It's really interesting because Kit has actually never played the game and Krysta has played it multiple times so there are some different perspectives. Also in this episode, we tell you why Nintendo is not attending Gamescom this year and react to John Cena's viral Zelda Instagram post. We're playing some new games this week and we're watching the new Fallout show and we wrap it all up with questions from our wonderful Patreon subscribers.

Hi and welcome to episode 113 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! Today we'll be talking about what Nintendo can do to buy some time since it seems like the Switch 2 won't be out until 2025. We're entering an interesting time where after the summer, we actually don't know what Nintendo is planning and what games are coming out for the rest of the year. We have some ideas of what Nintendo could be doing to keep everything moving along and still make 2024 a great year. Also in this episode, we're playing a lot of new games but on some unexpected systems and we dive into the drama that's happening at Square Enix with the Dragon Quest development teams.

Hello and welcome to episode 112 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! We surprised ourselves over the last few weeks because we've both been playing our Nintendo 3DS again. If you would have asked us in 2024 whether we'd be doing this, we would have thought it impossible. Recently, we played Mario Kart 7 with our Patreon community since the online servers are about to shut down and we recently revealed that our April spoilercast game is Chrono Trigger so we've been playing that on 3DS as well. It's actually so nice to play true handheld games again and it really made us think that dedicated handheld games are not really a thing anymore in gaming and we really miss them! Also in this episode, we tell you all about Nintendo's unique relationship with Nickelodeon and Krysta covering the Kid's Choice Awards from the Orange Carpet. We jump into games we're playing which again is a lot of handheld games! In our news section we tell you what we think about Nintendo's big shake-up to their product testing department and them laying off contractors. We wrap it all up with questions from our Patreon community.

Hello and welcome to episode 110 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! Today, we're going to discuss if leakers will ruin the reveal for Switch 2, what Nintendo is doing right now to try to stop this and most importantly if we even care. Do we just want to know so badly what this next system is going to be that we'll take the information any way we can get it? Also in this episode, we got a chance to chat with Tomm Hulett from Wayforward to talk about developing Contra Operation Galuga. In games we're playing, we share our spoiler-free thoughts about Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth but get ready for our full spoilercast on the game dropping at the end of the month.

Hi and welcome to episode 109 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! This week we're joined by our good friend Stephen Totilo - games journalist extraordinaire! Stephen has been covering video games and Nintendo for decades and has so many insider stories. When we were at Nintendo, there were so many people on our team who were scared at the prospect of talking to Stephen and we never understood why! We dig into all of that with him today. Also in this episode, we recap all the news that came out during Mario Day and reflect on the tragic passing of the legendary Akira Toriyama. We've also been playing some other games other than Final Fantasy VII Rebirth so we tell you what we think of those. We wrap it all up with questions from our wonderful Patreon subscribers.

Hi, we're celebrating the 7th anniversary of Nintendo Switch an incredible story about playing Switch before it launched with the one and only John Cena and before you even think it, yes, we COULD see him. You never know working with celebrities but John Cena turned out to be the nicest guy and a true Nintendo fan. Now we have such a great memory of launching this iconic video game system and playing with the one and only John Cena! Also in this episode, we talk about the recent Nintendo lawsuit against game emulator Yuzu. We also had a big week digging into Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth and tell you what we think of it so far. We were also lucky to go to Capcom a few weeks ago to play even more of Dragon's Dogma II early. In our never a minute segment today, we're doing something really fun which is opening packs of Pokemon Cards! Should we get into Pokemon TCG? We wrap it all up with questions from our wonderful Patreon subscribers.

Hello and welcome to episode 107 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! We have a very special Nintendo storytime to share with you today. Since we just had a Nintendo Direct, we wanted to share the origin story of Nintendo Direct. Some of you may be surprised to find out how it all started and it's wild to think that its humble origins led to what a Nintendo Direct is today. Also in this episode, we're celebrating the launch of Final Fantasy: Rebirth by sharing our top 3 and bottom 3 Final Fantasy games. We also have a lot of news to talk about including our reactions to Mother 3 coming to the Japan NSO but not the US. We are dabbling in a few of the new games and demos that were released after the Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase. Get comfy and let's get started!

Hi and welcome to episode 106 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! We have a jam-packed show this week to talk about all of the drama that's been happening in the games industry. The big three all had some issues this week from Xbox's business update to Sony's poor financials to Nintendo's rumors around the delay of Switch 2. We discuss why Nintendo is still coming out on top of a bad week and the future for Switch 2 is still bright. Also in this episode, we share a really interesting storytime about Mr. Iwata and the head of Ubisoft Yves Guillemot. We also do a fun Princess Peach transformation bracket and see which transformation comes out on top! In the games we're playing section, we're talking about Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth and of course the game du jour Helldivers II. We wrap it up with questions from our wonderful Patreon subscribers.

Hello and welcome to episode 105 of the Kit and Krysta Podcast! This week we are joined by special guest BeatEmUps(Wood Hawker) to talk about what zany gimmicks Nintendo could potentially bring back for the Switch 2. Nintendo is the kind of company who never leaves an innovation behind, so what could they be cooking up for this next console? Also in this episode, we have so much news around the newest round of Switch 2 rumors, the potential Nintendo Direct this week and of course Xbox's big business update. Seems like there is just a lot going on in the video game industry and we're here with the popcorn to see it all go down. In games we are playing, we've still been going strong through Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth but we've also been playing some new stuff like the Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth demo and it's all very fun so let us tell you all about it. We wrap it all up with a few questions from our wonderful Patreon subscribers. All this is coming right up!

Hello and welcome to another episode of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! This week we'll be examining if Nintendo is finally going to right their wrongs with Princess Peach with her new game, Princess Peach Showtime. Peach is such an iconic Nintendo character and she's gotten even more popular from the movie last year, it's high time she gets the respect she deserves. Is Nintendo doing enough with this game or will we continue to suffer Princess Peach disappointment. Also in this episode, we share our reaction to the rumor about Xbox going multi-platform and our thoughts on the PlayStation State of Play. We're still playing Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth and it's amazing. We've been palling around with our little pals in Palworld. We also tried out the Mario vs. Donkey Kong demo and we tell you what we think about the game so far. We wrap it all up with questions from our amazing Patreon community.

Hello and welcome to episode 103 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast. We have a gloriously jam packed show for you today filled with all sorts of fun stuff. First, let's talk about what we think is happening with this February Nintendo Direct. There is something very fishy going on with Nintendo over the last few weeks announcing all kinds of things on Twitter that would have been perfect for a Direct so what does it all mean? Let's figure it out together. We also have a huge news section where we share our reaction on the Pokemon statement around Palworld and what we think is going on with Aonuma being spotted at Universal. In our 'Never A Minute' segment, we're doing a tier list of the most egregious copycat Palworld designs. For our Nintendo storytime this week, we talk about a time where we lived in fear that Nintendo Minute would be canceled because it was getting whacked by the YouTube algorithm. We wrap it all up with questions from our wonderful Patreon subscribers. Big show let's go!

Hello and welcome to episode 102 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! We're joined today by a very special guest -  former Nintendo employee, video game narrative designer and our friend Alexa Ray Corriea. We're going to have a chat with Alexa about what it's like inside Nintendo when the crushing pressure of the fan community just gets to be too much. We've all lived through this and we're pretty sure Nintendo is dealing with it right now with all speculation swirling around Switch 2. Alexa also shares what it means to be a narrative designer and writer for video games. We're all going to learn together. We also talk about games we are playing including Palworld. Yes, we are playing Palworld. In our news section we share our thoughts about the Xbox Developer Direct and some of the games they announced. We wrap it all up with a handful of questions from our wonderful Patreon subscribers.

Hello and welcome to a very special episode of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! Yes, we made it to 100 episodes, everyone. We're so excited to celebrate this milestone but we're also so excited to keep going with the podcast because we love it and we're so grateful that you love it too. In this episode, we'll continue to have a discussion about the thing on everyone's minds right now - Switch 2. Last week we made our bold predictions about when we think Switch 2 will be announced and released but today we want to take you inside Nintendo and give you a glimpse of what Nintendo is doing right now to prepare to announce and launch Switch 2. For the public, Switch 2 doesn't officially kick off until its announced but we're sure everyone inside Nintendo has been working on this for a long time. What might they be doing? We'll tell you in this episode. We're also doing something super fun to celebrate our big 100 episode milestone by sharing 10 moments that led us to where we are right now. We hope you settle in for some fun with us. Let's gooooooooo!

Hello and welcome to the very first episode of the Kit & Krysta Podcast of 2024! We're so excited for what this year will bring and we're going to kick it off with a bang with our hot predictions for 2024. We did pretty good last year with our 2023 predictions but this year is admittedly a bit more nebulous. We also lock a few predictions in and if we're wrong there is a severe punishment to endure. Also in this episode, we also have more games we've been playing over the holiday break and we wrap it all up with questions from our amazing Patreon subscribers. All this and more is coming right up!

Hello and welcome to the final episode of the Kit & Krysta Podcast for 2023! What an exciting year it's been and we're so looking forward to another great year in 2024. Before that though, we have one last one for the books. Today, we'll be digging deeper into all the "Discourse" that's been happening around Eiji Aonuma's comments on the future of the Zelda series. So many people are talking about this but we've worked with Mr. Aonuma for many years and think we can explain what he might be thinking and what he might mean when he said what he said. Also in this episode, we talking about some of the games we've been playing over the holiday break. We have a more streamlined episode so we wrap it all up with a bigger Q&A segment with questions from our Patreon subscribers. Hope you enjoy and see you in 2024!

Hello and welcome to episode 97 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! Today we try to decide if 2023 is the best year for games ever. We certainly had a huge number of incredible games launch this year and we had more games than ever to play but does it beat out other iconic gaming years like 1996 when the Nintendo 64 launched? Or 1998 when The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Metal Gear Solid came out. Let's take a deep dive and figure it out once and for all. We also had the amazing honor of having the producer of the Ace Attorney series - Kenichi Hashimoto answering hard hitting questions from our community. Also in this episode, we have a monster Games We're Playing section with Kit beating Star Wars: Jedi Survivor and Krysta checking out a new puzzle game that everyone is talking about, Chants of Sennaar. We talk about the final end of E3 and the cancellation The Last of Us Online. We wrap it all up with questions from our Patreon community. Big episode coming right up. Settle on in and get ready!

Hi, welcome to a special bonus Nintendo storytime. We wanted to share a special story about VGX. Not sure how many of you remember this but it's the 10 year anniversary of this truly bizarre event and if you don't know, this was the show that took place between the Spike TV Video Game Awards and Geoff Keighley's The Game Awards. It was an event that marked a transition for one of the biggest game industry events now and some really insane things took place that we were very closely involved with including a showdown between Reggie and Geoff Keighley. YIKES! We hope you enjoy this truly insane story. See you soon!

Hi, we can't believe that after 10 long years, Mario Kart 8 is finally finished. We wanted to take a look back and share our untold stories about this incredible game. We both worked at Nintendo pretty much for those entire 10 years and we saw and worked on most of the marketing for this game when it was launched on Wii U and when it came to Nintendo Switch. It's an incredible end to an incredible game and we're so hopeful about the future of Mario Kart. Let us know in the comments below what your favorite track from Mario Kart 8 is and if it's Mount Wario, we are friends for life. Thanks for watching!

Hello and welcome to episode 90 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! We're super excited today to start talking about The Game Awards. Yes, it is almost that time of year. Can you believe it? Today we'll be predicting which games will be nominated for the big categories. Remember that these are not our personal picks but what we think the TGA judging panel will likely choose. This is such a banner year with so many incredible games that there are bound to be games that would have made it other years that might get snubbed. We're here for the drama! Also in this episode, we talk about Nintendo's latest (bad) guidelines around the Smash community and tell you what those latest Nintendo patents really mean. We also have a fun storytime about Krysta's doggie Chowder who was in a Wii Fit commercial. We both also started playing Spider-Man 2 and have a lot of thoughts. All this and more is coming up!

Hi and welcome back to episode 87 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! Today, we're going to take a deep look at Mario role-playing games and discuss what Nintendo might be thinking for the future of these types of games. With the Super Mario RPG remake followed closely by Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door remake and the absence of any Mario & Luigi RPGs during the Switch generation, there's a lot to consider for what the future might hold. In our Nintendo Storytime today, we share a sad story about dogs in the Nintendo office. Don't worry no doggies were harmed. We've also both been playing two great games Baldur's Gate 3 and Sea of Stars. In our news section, we share our thoughts about the new Animal Crossing LEGO collab and Nintendo shutting down online support for Wii U and Nintendo 3DS.

We also deep dive into Diablo 4 since we've been playing together a ton and let us tell you, there are things the game does not tell you about that we've learned!

Hi and welcome to another special episode of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! Today, we are joined by another amazing guest - Gene Park. Gene is the games writer for The Washington Post and he has so much knowledge about the state of video game journalism and what the future will look like for games media. Gene also has a ridiculous amount of access, probably more than most game journalists to the inner workings of Nintendo so he shares some stories about what it's been like interviewing Nintendo developers and getting early access to the biggest Nintendo games. Gene is an incredible person who has shared so much about himself. We're huge fans of him and we hope you are too. Also in this episode, we finished Final Fantasy 16 and share our final thoughts on the ending, don't worry, no spoilers. We also dig into Nintendo's recent financials and share some light thoughts on the Pokemon Showcase. We wrap it all up with questions from our incredible Patreon community. Lots of good stuff coming up!

Hi and welcome to a very special episode of the Kit & Krysta Podcast. This week we have a super cool guest joining us. Producer Stephenie was integral to Nintendo Minute, producing, editing and filming nearly every episode. She's here in-studio to air all her grievances with us (just kidding) but she does have some really fun stories and even things WE don't know about. This is her Nintendo Minute "tell all" and let us tell you... it's juicy stuff. Also in this episode, we're still in our dabble phase with games so we have a big variety of stuff we're playing. We have a handful of news stories and a discussion around video game financials. We wrap it all up with some great questions from our Patreon community. Are you ready to hear all the secrets?

Hi and welcome to episode 76 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! We have a very special guest today - Jeff Grubb! Jeff is at the center of a lot of Nintendo rumors and we've said before how we trust him because he truly has a different process, approach and sources when he shares information about unannounced stuff. We want to dig into this a bit more because Jeff has a tough job. Also, when we were at Nintendo, we were on the other side of these rumors so hearing about it from Jeff's perspective is really interesting. Also in this episode, we talk about the latest PS5 Pro rumors and the latest with the Dolphin emulator on Steam. We are juggling SO many games right now but it's great because who doesn't want tons of fun games to play. This week, we give you our latest progress on Final Fantasy 16, Viewfinder, Dordogne and Disney Illusion Island. We wrap it all up with a handful of questions from our wonderful Patreon family. We hope you enjoy this special episode!

Hello and welcome to episode 75 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast. Today we're going to dig into an interesting and potentially scary topic about preserving classic games. The Video Game Foundation published some very jarring data that almost 90% of classic games are unavailable to play. Let's take a look at this from the side of players, publishers and those trying to find ways to preserve these games. Are we too late and will some of these games disappear forever? Also in this episode, we tell a story about when Kit's life was almost ruined at San Diego Comic-Con. In our Never A Minute segment we let artificial intelligence take over the podcast and the results are shocking. We wrap it up with the latest news and answer questions from our wonderful Patreon community. It's all coming up right now.

Hello and welcome to episode 74 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! This is a very special episode because we are finally back in person. It's so great to be back together again and back to Krysta's mom's house to record this podcast for you all after Kit was on vacation for a couple weeks. We have a jam-packed show today and we're going to kick it off with a fun storytime about some Nintendo Minute lore that you probably haven't heard of before. We finally make that big list of all the 2023 games we would like to play only to have reality set in and bring us to the sad realization that we literally CANNOT play all these games so we have to choose, and we're choosing right now. We talk about some of the games we are playing including Krysta's final thoughts on Ghost Trick after beating the game. In the news segment, we share our thoughts on the new Pokemon show "Beyond the Pokedex". Do we feel like this is like Nintendo Minute? We wrap it all up by answering some questions from our wonderful Patreon subscribers!

Hi and welcome back to another episode of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! Today we're thinking a lot about Pikmin since we've been playing the demo for Pikmin 4. We want to dig into a topic and explain to all you why Shigeru Miyamoto is so personally invested in Pikmin. He's really out there personally promoting the game but why is that? We've also been playing a lot of other games this summer. We're making some great progress in Final Fantasy 16 and we've been playing a few indie games like Dave the Diver on Steam and Ghost Trick. In our news section, we dig into Nintendo's involvement in the Microsoft FTC trial and talk about the unfortunate Niantic layoffs. We wrap it all up with questions from our awesome Patreon subscribers. This is also the last week that Kit is in Taiwan so the next time you see us, we will be reunited in person. What will happen? Who can say! Let's goooooo...

Hi and welcome back to another episode of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! Today we're finally getting a chance to dig into the latest Nintendo Direct which really changed our minds about where the Nintendo Switch is headed. We know we're getting close to the end of the lifecycle but the golden years sure are going strong with amazing titles launching later this year and into next year. What does this all mean for the future of Nintendo and when will we get the next Nintendo hardware? Do we even need the next hardware or are we all just pretty happy with what we got coming up? Let's discuss. Also in this episode, we share our final thoughts on Tears of the Kingdom after we've both beat the game. One of us is also still playing Final Fantasy 16 and we talk about a few other games we've been dabbling with. We share our thoughts on the drama that is the Microsoft/FTC trial and wrap it up with a few questions from our amazing Patreon community. All of this is coming up. Get comfy!

We do have Nintendo Direct predictions and reactions as separate videos on the channel. In this episode, we want to talk about Final Fantasy 16 which launches TODAY. We've been looking forward to this game so we're excited to finally play it. We tell you everything we love about it so far and we can't wait to dig into this game more in the coming weeks. Kit is on vacation in a faraway mysterious place but played a bunch of games on the plane. We're getting close to wrapping up Tears of the Kingdom. We don't review games BUT... we might for this one since we've sunk over 200 hours combined into this thing!

Hello and welcome to episode 68 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! We have a ton of stuff to talk about today. We've both done 3 our of 4 of the "dungeons" in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and we have some thoughts and feelings about them. First of all, these are 100% not traditional Zelda dungeons and we think this confirms that traditional Zelda dungeons as we know it are pretty much gone forever. Let's discuss. We also got Street Fighter 6 early (Thanks Capcom) so we tell you all about what we think of the game so far. In our storytime, we tell you about the extravagant world of PlayStation E3 parties. Like the Zelda dungeons these are never coming back so good thing we experienced them when they were a thing! We have a lot of news coming out of the PlayStation Showcase last week and we talk about this whole Dolphin Emulator on steam getting shut down by Nintendo. We wrap it all up with questions from our wonderful Patreon family. It's a long one people. Let's go!

Also in this episode, we share our PlayStation Showcase predictions and tell you a very embarrassing story about a horrible mishap that happened when we were at Nintendo with Capcom.

Hello and welcome to episode 65 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast. Zelda Week is in full swing and we are mere hours away from the launch of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Are you excited? We are very relieved that this game is finally coming out. We have a Hinox sized episode filled with Zelda goodness. In a very special Nintendo Storytime, we finally tell part 3 of our Mr. Aonuma story but we're joined by a special guest. Rob Tunstall worked on the Localization team at Nintendo and we worked really close together on all things Zelda at Nintendo.

Hi and welcome to episode 64 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast. This week we're sharing our final thoughts about The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom with you since we're about a week away from launch. Did Nintendo do enough to market this game? What needs to be in the game for it to be game of the year? And we talk about our final expectations. Also in this episode, we tell you a story about a time when Krysta messed up big time in front of Mr. Aonuma working on the launch of A Link Between Worlds. Oops! We continue our Zelda game rankings from last week this time sharing number 5 - 10. In the games we're playing segment, we share with you our thoughts after getting a chance to play Street Fighter 6 early. We wrap up with news and questions from our Patreon subscribers. All this and more is coming right up!

Hello and welcome to episode 63 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! We have a huge episode today with a ton of goodness so let's get into it. We're going to be talking about Nintendo and if they are at the tippy top of the company's long history right in this moment. With The Super Mario Bros Movie about to make a billion dollars, the Nintendo Switch having an extended life and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom about to launch, this might be the peak for Nintendo. But as they say, when you get to the top of the top there's no where left to go but down. Can Nintendo keep this momentum or will there be some sort of inevitable crash? In our Nintendo Storytime, we'll be tell you a story about The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks and how the launch of it well... went off the tracks (sorry we couldn't help ourselves). We'll have Zelda themed storytimes from now until Tears of the Kingdom launches so we hope you'll look forward to that! We continue with the Zelda theme in our Never a Minute segment and tell you our current top 5 Zelda games. We go through a lot of news and wrap with questions from our wonderful Patreon subscribers. It's a long one people so get nice and settled.

Hi and welcome to episode 62 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast. This week we wanted to talk a bit about this situation with Nintendo and creators who make Zelda mods. We share some of our opinions and give you some insight into what Nintendo thinks about when they do things like this. We've also been thinking a lot about Tears of the Kingdom since we all watched (and loved) the final trailer. We talk about how we're currently feeling about the game and if we can just lock it in now for Game of the Year. We share a really fun storytime about working on the Zelda 25th Anniversary Symphony and why it's one of our favorite memories of all time. This week we're skipping our "Never A Minute" segment because we have a MONSTER news section filled with tons of stuff to talk about. We wrap it all up with games we're playing and answering questions from our wonderful Patreon family. All this and more is coming up right now!

Hello and welcome to episode 61 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast. Today we're going to be spotlighting one of our favorite people of all time, Mr. Iwata. We'll tell you why The Super Mario Bros. Movie is actually the culmination of Mr. Iwata's vision for Nintendo that he was championing over 10 years ago. We miss him so much and we're grateful to have known him. We know that seeing the success of the Mario Movie would have made him proud. Also in this episode, we tell you a really fun story about Mr. Miyamoto and his favorite food. It's the end of the first quarter of 2023 so we do a little check in on the games we've played so far and if there is a GOTY contender among them. One of us beat Resident Evil 4 Remake so we go into that in detail in the games we are playing segment. We dig into the news and answer some great questions from our wonderful Patreon subscribers. All this and more is coming up.

Hi and welcome to episode 60 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! It's been a very exciting few days because we were invited to The Super Mario Bros. Movie world premiere. Can you believe it? This is the first Nintendo event we've attended since we've left the company and we knew there would be some very important Nintendo people there. That made us a little bit nervous because we weren't sure how those interactions would go. Not to bury the lede but we did have a mini reunion with Mr. Miyamoto and we'll tell you all about how that went in the episode. We're in the Mario movie spirit so for our Never A Minute segment we're doing our very fun and scientific character bracket to determine who is the best character from the movie. We also talk about the games we're playing with some updates on both our progress in Resident Evil 4. We go through a handful of news and talk a bit more about the official cancellation of E3 and wrap it up with some questions from our wonderful Patreon community. It's jam-packed to in the words of Mario LET'S-A GO!

Hello, and welcome to episode 59 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! We've had a busy week with the new game play from The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom dropping. This got us thinking about the latest discussion around people being disappointed about not knowing much about this game and if that's going to hinder them from buying. We're here to call shenanigans on that! It seems like no matter what Nintendo does with the marketing of Tears of the Kingdom a huge percentage of people are going to buy this game regardless of what they are saying now. Maybe all this complaining is just for the sake of complaining? Also in this episode we tell you a story about a Nintendo event we know you've never heard about. Unfortunately, it was one of the worst events ever. We also have a really fun segment where we take all our big gaming questions to the AI robots (ChatGPT) and let them predict the future of video games. We go through the games we're playing and it's quite a long list since we started Resident Evil 4 and we were at GDC and saw a ton of stuff.  We wrap up with a handful of news and a fistful of questions from our wonderful Patreon family. It's a good one so let's get this going!

Hi and welcome to episode 58 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast. It seems like remasters or remakes are having a moment. We saw huge popularity with Metroid Prime Remastered and now we're seeing incredibly high Metacritic scores for Resident Evil 4 so we're asking ourselves, which other games deserve this kind of remaster treatment and what are the chances they'll get it? Also in this episode, we share a story about a cursed Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver event that almost ended in disaster. We talk about a big grab bag of games we're playing, go through the news and of course answer questions from our wonderful Patreon subscribers.

We are also SO excited about the newly announced Kit & Krysta custom controller made in partnership with the very talented CptnAlex! Visit http://kitandkrystacontroller.com to learn more and pre-order today.

Hi and welcome to episode 56 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! We've been really intrigued by the discussion around the Final Fantasy team's suggestion that JRPG is a dirty word. We happened to talk to some Nintendo developers about negative perceptions of Japanese games and share that with you in this episode. We've also been thinking a lot about all of the important people we worked with at Nintendo of America that you might not know about. Sure, everyone knows Doug Bowser and Bill Trinen but there are so many people behind the scenes doing some great and even historically important things that you may have never heard of. By the time you're listening to this episode we would have returned from Super Nintendo World! We share/try to manifest what our perfect day would be at the park so look forward to some vlogs where we share our experience with you. Also in this episode, we share our final Like A Dragon: Ishin impressions since we both beat the game. We wrap up with some questions from our wonderful Patreon subscribers.

Don't worry, it's all spoiler-free. We have a really fun Never A Minute segment where we talk about console lifecycles.

Hi and welcome to episode 53 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! This is a beefy episode so let's get right into it. Today we're going to dig into this Nintendo Direct and talk about why there has been so much discussion after the Direct about the end of Nintendo Switch. Do we think that's true? Let's talk about it. We also go through all of the Direct announcements and share our thoughts and even grade our predictions. With all the chit chat about Tears of the Kingdom, we found ourselves thinking fondly about Eiji Aonuma so in our Nintendo Storytime, we share a really fun memory about when he visited New York for New York Comic-Con and was a true tourist itching to try all the iconic NY things no matter how questionable! Of course we will be talking about games we are playing and wrapping up with a handful of questions from our amazing Patreon subscribers. This is a long one so settle on in.

Hi, and welcome to episode 46 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast. We're recording this the day after Christmas so it's going to be a bit of a shorter more chill episode. We'll talk about the recent happenings with Nintendo setting all of the Nintendo Minute videos to private and go into why we think this is and what we think this means and of course how we feel about it all. The bulk of this episode will be dedicated to answering questions from our wonderful Patreon community. We're a bit behind since we didn't do a Q&A segment in our GOTY episode so doing a bit of catch-up here. Hope you're all having a great holiday and enjoy the last episode of 2022. We can't wait to tell you what we have in store for 2023. It's going to be great!

Hi Friends and welcome back to another episode of the Kit & Krysta Podcast. We're very festive this week but we do have to talk about a topic that isn't very jolly and it's all this drama with Nintendo and the competitive Smash community. We've worked closely on this while we were at Nintendo and things are pretty dire. Perhaps it's time for Nintendo to just throw up the white flag and give up trying to control this. We can't jump straight into the unpleasantness so let's ease in with a fun storytime about when we had to steal a Christmas tree to salvage a Nintendo Minute episode about to go awry. We also share our favorite holiday vibe games in our Never A Minute segment. We have a super meaty Games We are Playing segment because we both beat God of War! And of course we answer a handful of questions from our wonderful Patreon subscribers.
